That's hard to argue against because you aren't willing to compromise. So, to address your next comment, I'll restate what I was proposing. That is, to ensure all the d_flags accesses protected by d_lock as an initial patch rather than cleaning it up in an ad-hoc fashion later on, such as this later patch in your series: [PATCH 14/46] fs: dcache scale d_unhashed which has the description: Protect d_unhashed(dentry) condition with d_lock. which illustrates my point that not all accesses to d_flags are currently protected by d_lock as you are asserting. Hence: > I would prefer more in-depth review than from someone who doesn't know > d_lock protects d_flags, Your implication about my competence is incorrect and entirely inappropriate. Ad hominen attacks don't improve your argument or encourage other people to review your code. > but any and all help is welcome.

Nick, in the past couple of months you've burnt everyone who has tried to review your changes in any meaningful way. Nobody wants to engage with you because you've aggressively disagreed with every significant change that has been requested. You have shown no desire to compromise, instead you argue that you are right until you've had the last word, and you have frequently resorted to condesending and disrespectful attacks on reviewers. You would do well to keep that in mind next time you wonder why nobody is stepping up to review your code.
